July 2010 | 192 pages | Learning Matters
With the proposed development of the 'youth professional' and the consolidation of graduate professional qualifications, this is an important time for youth work. This book sets out the current state of debate about youth work for those considering, or about to embark on, a degree course. Contemporary debates in youth work are explored, and help to give students a sense of its history and its future contribution. By combining the experience of its editors and the contemporaneous experience of the voices of contributors, this book provides an excellent introduction to work as a youth worker in the twenty-first century.

This book is an essential introductory read for anyone entering the field of youth work. A good insight and background to both history and policy of youth work to current times and the transformation and values of the recent integrated services.

This is a useful text for new students on youth and community studies courses. It is written in Batsleer's usual accessible yet intellectually grounded style. It provides a theorised account of youth work upon which courses can build.
